Spearmint Toothpaste by FloatingBallofLight

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter and if you sue me, all you'll get is a cheese stick, a computer, and an imagination.:)

A/N: I absolutely adored this little snid-bit of scene in was so cute and typical R/Hr with a gentler of course, I have to Fic it!

Ginny had bounded into Harry's arms and turned around as Ron loudly cleared his seemed to be stroking hermione's cheek and when he noticed everyone staring, he mumbled "you….umm…had some,er…toothpaste." In any other case, ginny would've smirked or made a comment, but she couldn't help but think how pathetically cute that was, and that she ought not ruin the moment.

Harry was instantly engulfed in a hug just when Ron coughed. He was stroking hermione's cheek, and upon noticing the others, grumbled something about toothpaste Hermione started to giggle nervously. In any other case, Harry would've rolled his eyes and called them stupid, but he realized Ron had finally come out and done what Harry had been bugging him about for the past three years. He'd give it some time….

Mrs. Weasley was bust in the kitchen. When she heard Ron mumble something unintelligent. Entering the dining room, the only things she saw were Harry and Ginny smiling and talking about what she heard to be Hermione,Ron blushing violently as he sprinted up the stairs, and Hermione(who was also blushing) satnding in a corner, touching her cheek and smiling to herself. had a strange feeling she had missed something.

As he watched Ginny run to Harry's open arms, Ron wished he was Harry and Ginny was….. He shifted his attention towards Hermione. He would've kissed her right then and there if she hadn't had that annoying bit of toothpaste on her cheek. Without thinking, he reached out to brush it off. (SOOO out of character) Her skin was so SOFT! She turned to look at him with a surprised yet gentle expression.(You get what I'm sayin' right?) When he noticed everyone staring, he blushed, mumbled his excuse and stomped away up the stairs.

Hermione admired Harry and Ginny embracing, wishing Ron would do stuff like that. As if he read her mind, Hermione felt something rough but smooth rub against her cheek. She turned to face him and she saw his eyes full of something she had never seen in them before. Almost like…love. It was then that she lost her senses and blushed rather hard. Ron smiled, but groaned "had a bit of toothpaste", and trampled off. Hermione wished she could comfort him, but she couldn't, so instead, she slid down the wall in the corner, touching the spot that had started collecting all heat from her body, and daydreamed.

Yay! I'm very satisfied, really like this one. Probably my favorite so far.:) Please review! Umm…. Suppose I should dedicate this, sooo this one goes out to my mother who went bezerk over this scene and insisted that it wasn't Ron and that someone more mature and sensible had taken his place. So this is fro you, Ma, cuz someone sensible would run off after muttering something incomprehensible.
